It seems like an age since I had an FO to show, but here at last is my Posh Yarn cardi in all its glory. For those of you out there who have drooled over (not literally) this gorgeous yarn, and have passed it around between you at recent Ely and Cambridge ktogs, I give you "Flounce" and hope you like the finished article as much as I do. The low down: "Amelia" dk in colourway "Loiter", fibre content merino/alpaca, 4x100g skeins have made a waist length fitted cardi with flounced edges at the hem and sleeves, which are 3/4 length with set in shoulders, V-neck with shawl collar in moss stitch. There's even about 40g leftover.

I've cast on for a new project using the laceweight I dyed at Liz's workshop last summer, a large lace stole for my youngest daughter which I promised her months ago and was one of the many frogged objects. No photos yet as there isn't much of it, but as it grows I'll show the progress.

About Me

My mum taught me to knit about 45 years ago and I've been an enthusiast ever since, although I had several knit free years when my 2 daughters were little & I never seemed to be able to find the time! Nowadays, I design my own patterns & have had reasonable success, being a finalist in UK Handknittings "Accessorise 2006" competition. This led to some of my work being published in Marie Claire & My Weekly magazines. I now design for my own satisfaction having successfully completed the City and Guilds level 3 certificate in Knitted Textile Design.
